Anybody know if you can install the cat back without a lift?

I installed my Magnaflow on Sunday without one. Difficult to remove the stock unit as the left side is 1 piece. Easier with a lift but not impossible. If you have 4 corner, put it in OR2 to help. Good luck and post pics when done.

It is a quality system (had them on my last 2 Rams) with a great sound. Definitely feel some added power as the truck feels ready to run. With the 25% discount I received on hotexhausts.com, imo it is well worth the spend.

I installed my Carven Monday night in my drive way by putting my truck in Off road 2 setting (air suspension) and drove the rear end of the truck on car ramps just to give me some extra room. Hardest part indeed was removing that long *** exhaust canister.

Let us know how you like the Carven, I am considering selling locally (Macon, GA) and picking up a magnaflow as the Carven I am leaning on being to loud for my taste.

Installed my Carven cat back today from the group buy. Noticeably louder at start up and when dumping fuel. Once cruising though, I would say it's quite tame. I'll be watching close to see if there is any mpg change.
